Hi all, I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the item zone used for the charts and data window. I am trying to set my forex charts to EST isntead of the default. Thanks for your assistance!

What is the diference between an "Indicator" and a "Script"?

Could anyone make me a "Truncated" Moving Average Indicator for MT-4 (or simply provide the script). By "Truncated," I mean the moving average lines would only extend back for about 15-20 bars, rather than back to infinity. Other than that, it would just be a typical MA with simple, exponential,...

I need some help urgently... Please contact me at benwiid at mweb dot co dot za

WHICH MODEL. TICK, CONTROL, OR OPEN PRICES REFLECTS MORE CLOSELY THE RESULTS OBTAINED IN REAL TRADING?

I've been having problems using arrays in experts. I did a simple test below to load closing prices into an array in an expert and then print the results (output in the expert tab) - and all I get are 0.000000 instead of the closing prices. So apparently nothing is getting loaded into the array!...

I can handle arrays in indicators fine - but I'm obviously missing something simple when it comes to using them in an expert.

I am experiencing from Build 180 up, an error/bug.

Hello! One thing which I would find quite helpful would be to add a way to offer a description for the indicator and even more important to the inputs. A way of doing this would be a #property description which could be displayed by a button on the Common tab when adding the indicator and expert...
